We have put together a series of frequently asked questions. This week we are focused on Portal!

Anywhere from 2 - 4 weeks. We take pride in customizing each portal site to our customer’s needs and want strive to create a final product that makes your life easier.

2.Where do I upload my files for you to add to the portal?

We have an FTP site, we will set you up with a login and password. “What is an FTP site?” you ask. FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol, and as the name suggests it's a quick and no hassle way to get your files into our hands. We’ve got the rest covered.

3.What’s the turn-around time to receive my order?

We get a minimum of 5 - 10 business days for large - format orders. These print on our large-format printers which involve more of a process. It will take 2 - 3 business days for smaller items, which would be anything that prints on the HP7xxx or HP10xxx. Interested in seeing these bad boys in action?

Please package all your native files! We need images, links, typefaces, textures.. everything! The more you give us, the quicker the process will be to get your files print ready.
